Acrylic nails gone too far?

Almost every girl loves to treat their self to a manicure or pedicure at some point in their life. Going into a nail salon means getting pampered and as cheesy as it may sound, who doesn’t like that.

Manicures and pedicures are so relaxing. During both procedures, the salon employee usually massages the hands and the feet.

After getting acrylic fingernails, my fingers always ache for about one or two days. I always dread that, every task seems 100 times harder than it usually is. As much as I like how they look, the concept is kind of weird. First of all it’s so artificial. You usually stereotype an over tanned, fake looking woman to have them. But that’s not always the case, I know many women who haven’t baked there skin to the color orange, and still have acrylic nails.

Women who usually get acrylic nails get them to improve the looks of their appearance. Now the new question is; Why do women get acrylic toenails?

I’m sorry, but this idea is extremely weird to me. What is the point of having fake toenails? I can see someone getting them to cover an ingrown toenail or possibly to perfect the looks of their feet. Stores today have the stick-on types, similar to the ones they have for fingernails. Personally, I’d be mortified if a fake stick-on toenail fell off in front of somebody. I also heard that they make them for men. I wouldn’t want my boyfriend to have them, that would honestly creep me out.

Out of curiousity, would you consider getting acrylic or stick-on toenails?

Brittany,
I have been saying for many many many years I wish they had acrylic toe nails. I have the ugliest feet, and yes unfortunately ingrown toe nails. I would love for me feet to look pretty just for the summer months. Where can you get these. I wouldn’t get the stick on ones at all…but the acrylic seems like a potential option for those of us foot challenged. I do get the finger nails but I keep them short and rounded. My regular nails are very thin and don’t grow long…so I keep the finger nails on to enhance the look of my hands. It makes me feel more feminine to have pretty hands and nails…now getting the toes pretty would literally be a dream come true…I joke that I need foot transplants!!! ha-ha Oh one other thing…I do NOT fake tan at all. I am not vain…just like pretty things!!!

The only reason I could think of for anyone to get acrylic toenails is for a special occasion, like a wedding or prom. I may get acryllic fingernails, but I would never get acryllic toenails. I feel that it’s ridiculous to spend the money and the trouble for anything but a special occasion. I also can’t stand people touching my feet.

One time I bought those stick on plastic nails from Wal-Mart. They were pretty, but once I put them on it was impossible to do anything. And it was really creepy when I took them off with nail polish remover and they started melting. I don’t think I’ll ever get them again, I like my natural nails better

I think toes, in general are pretty ugly, especially a runner’s toes. I have a bruise under one of my nails, and it’s not a pretty site. I’m in favor of anything that can make feet look more attractive.

No i do my toe nails all the time.I feel short and stubby toe nails are boring and look better sculpted..i do art work on my nails . you name it i can do it. and they look fablous in a pair of open toe heels or flip flops. if anyone feels this is pushing it too far. think about other people that have to look at your nasty stubbly toes crusty in flip flops. i get grossed out seeing the lack of care there of. enjoy being a woman and feeling sexy . why do you fingers have to look sexy and not your feet do them up and feel fablous.

loll ..#5 is funny i think! grossed out buy fake nails.. no one is perfect doll. you are bound to be wearing some thing fake. so don’t be such a Hippocratic.your probly wearing some thing fake right now. weather its you fake knock off purse down to your fake and bake orange tan its all fake . so when you use the word fake just know that we all do something that adds to our appearance to enhance it weather it be real or fake why should it mater. yes go for it acrylic toe nails i could go for that for sure.

NUMBER 7: Hippocratic, huh? Are you sure that’s even a word, idiot? #5 Didn’t say that people who wear “fake nails” are fake themselves, she doesn’t like the concept of it. Neither do I, I think they are trashy and tacky. I guess I’m a hippocratic, too, huh? huahuahuahua..

I have stubby toes and very small toenails. I clean my toes and remove cuticles and do the best I can to make them grow,even drink prenatal vitamins, and they just don’t grow. I have used glued on toenails in the past if I planed to wear open toed shoes. I have horrible looking feet, fungus free, nice and smooth, but like I said, stubby fat toes with hardly any nail on them, so what’s wrong with improving their appearance? Just like any other woman would get botox, breast enhancements, tummy tuck, ect. I am not vain, I am not high maintenance sometimes I just want my feet to look cute.
